Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson became emotional as she talked about her weight loss journey.
The 40-year-old actress tried to hold back tears as she admitted that she did not give her body enough ‘love and respect’ in the past.
In the heartfelt video, the singer revealed: “I would wear my weight as a bit of a barrier, so people wouldn’t get close to me.”
“It’s hard when I talk about the emotional stuff… it’s hard. I can do this,” she expressed. “I wasn’t valuing myself, and telling myself negative things. That was hard. I’m trying to change those patterns, so you’re more loving and treating yourself with respect.
“I’m working on self love, and that’s a hard concept to master.”
The Hustler star said she had reached her lowest weight when she was diagnosed with malaria.
“I was at my skinniest when I had malaria when I almost died, when I came out of hospital everyone was like ‘Wow what did you do?’ I almost died…”
The singer said that she had also decided to freeze her eggs in case she wants to start building a family in the future.
“I was thinking about fertility and having good quality eggs in the bank, so I was like – OK, I’m going to do this. I’m going to get healthy,” Rebel shared.
She recently confirmed that she had lost 28kg, thanks to her passion for hiking.
Posting a photo of a weighing scale showing 74.6, Rebel said: “Hit my goal with one month to spare! Even though it’s not about a weight number, it’s about being healthy, I needed a tangible measurement to have as a goal and that was 75 kilograms.”
